Approach to the Exhibition In consideration of the opportunity of making synergies, the definition of the GEO Exhibitors and of the associated floor plan will be coordinated with Geospatial Media & Communication, the organizer (together with INEGI) of the Latin American Geospatial Forum (LAGF), which also plans an Exhibition. The plan is to have just one Exhibition Hall and to jointly define its layout. Geospatial Media & Communication has provided a preliminary allocation of booths of different size, which takes into account GEO needs
